When I heard the title Kaaki, I had thoughts like, is this film inspired from Hollywood film, The Raven? But After watching film, I can assure you that it has nothing to do with The Raven.Although Kaaki is touted as Horror Thriller. It do not have enough scary moments to call it as horror but it has managed to sporadically give thrilling moments. Director Manon failed to give the aura of suspense and Horror.

The narration goes on like a drama. The intial hour is too stretched by establishing characters and the second hour unfurl the mild twist. Mediocre work by Cameraman. Below par Re-recording. Music is not upto the standards of a horror film. Editor should have been chopped off jaded frames of first half.

Ashok Kumar screen presence is alright. Megha Sree has got a good role to emote various emotions but the upcoming actress failedto act the convincing emotions.New actor Kiran’s performance is good. Senior actors Jayasudha and Nassar have justified their roles.

Even though Kaaki is a old wine invnew bottle, It would have been a better film if I had enough horror, suspense and thrilling elements. Overall, Director Manon failed to show the right path to his characters due to lack of experience. I will go with two and half out of five stars.
